PICK: I’m going to stick with Bryant. The Bulldogs are off to a nice start this year—outside of the 11-point loss to FAU, that is. The good news is that Bryant has posted 73 or more points in every game so far and should notch a solid total here as well. 

As for Brown, they’ve had some hits and misses this year so far. The Bears aren’t putting up super-impressive points totals; they’ve hit 70 points just twice this year. I don’t think Brown will keep up if Bryant gets going.
